Built by
Volunteers.

COR Community recruits, trains and mobilizes volunteers to protect children, strengthen neighborhoods and build the next generation of community leaders.

From one campus to a whole city.

In February 2002, Morgan State student Munir Bahar launched Brother 2 Brother, connecting college men with Baltimore middle and high school students. More than 100 Morgan volunteers became mentors, with no federal or state funding.

In 2007 the work became COR. Saturday-morning training at Lake Montebello grew into COR 4 Kids, three community centers, the 300 Men March, Youth COR and BuildCOR. Names and programs changed. The method never did.

Twenty-five years later, COR has served more than 500 young people with more than 20,000 hours of volunteer service from 250+ volunteers. In 2027 we open our next chapter.

Recruit. Train. Mobilize.

01

Recruit

We look for people who will commit, not just show up once: students, fathers, neighbors and professionals.

02

Train

Every volunteer is trained before they serve, from outreach tactics and de-escalation to mentoring and discipline.

03

Mobilize

Trained teams go where children and neighbors need them most: classrooms, corners, centers and campsites.
